LA DODGERS(McCarthy) -115 over Pittsburgh Pirates(Cole)----Cole did go to UCLA and is from the LA area but........5 RBI and an HR by Brandon Guyer yesterday........3-5 by Brandon Phillips yesterday.......Brandon Moss 2-5 w/HR the day before yesterday while Randal Grichuk had a PHHR for the Cardinals.......I gotta play Mccarthy in this situation.(Win 8-4.........Joc Pederson 3-5, HR.........Corey Seager 3-5...........McCarthy pitched 1inning and walked 5 so..........Julio Urias got this W)

ATLANTA BRAVES(Whalen) +154 over Washington Nationals(Lopez)----Atlanta is doing better now, with Kemp.  But they're still more than 20 games under .500 while the Nationals are 20 games over .500.   Lopez,  however,  has proved nothing yet while Whalen looks like he's hard to hit, having thrown a .220 average so far.   It was curious that Strasburg and the Nationals lost yesterday.........I'll take the dog here.(Lose 7-6........Nationals had a 7-1 lead at one point)

OAKLAND A's(Graveman) +122 over Seattle Mariners(Iwakuma)----Iwakuma is coming off 14 scoreless innings and the Mariners have scored 62 more runs than the A's.  But this is a Double Revenge game.  A's have the Team Revenge against Iwakuma and Graveman has the Pitcher Revenge against Seattle----times 2 in both cases.(Lose 4-3..........Oakland outhit them 11-9)

KANSAS CITY ROYALS(Gee) +128 over Minnesota Twins(Duffey)------At 3 games below .500,  it doesn't look like its gonna work out this year for the Royals(but they won the WS last year,  so who cares?).  Their slugging percentage at .394 has been too low----in fact, the Twins have scored 90 more runs than KC has.  Surprising.  Surprising because the Twins are 24 games below .500 and they are favored in this game with Duffey starting.   Wow.  Gee's bad,  but maybe he's not so bad.(Lose 5-3...........Gee is terrible:  he give up 11hits in 5innings in this one)
